I've had hives all over my body for 2 weeks now. i noticed them after being bitten by mosquitoes in mississippi. they itch badly and hurt.

Hives: Hives are usually an allergic reaction to something internal or external. We cannot be sure whether mosquito bites set them off. Try taking antihistamines like benadryl (causes drowsiness) or claritin(non drowsy). If you can't pinpoint any other triggers of the hives and they continue to occur, consult an allergist for evaluation and advice.
